One was 21 when he was killed in a wreck while on a motorcycle and the other was 20 when he was killed in an electrical accident. .

We did not know your daughter, but we have had difficult times like you're going through right now. My wife and I lost two sons in years past. One was 21 when he was killed in a wreck while on a motorcycle and the other was 20 when he was killed in an electrical accident. . You may not think so in the next few weeks, but as time passes you will be able to think more on the good times that you had together and less about loosing your daughter. It is always good to hear people remember and name the one you've lost. Your daughter will not be forgotten by friends and I hope they'll have the courage to talk of her with you.May God comfort you.
